The Aegean Rally is an international sailing regatta held in Greece; held annually since 1964, it is organised by the Hellenic Offshore Racing Club.[1] The regatta is broken up into three to six individual competitions, with the course taking in several of the Aegean Islands after a start in Faleron Bay.[2] The event is strongly affected by the meltemi, the brisk local north-easterly wind[3] which blows from dawn to dusk at between fifteen and twenty-five knots, driven by a local weather system & documented since ancient times. For the 2018 race, qualified boats included ORC International, ORC Club, IRC 1 (endorsed, TCC≥0,980) and IRC 2 (any IRC boat) measured boats with LOA greater than 6.00 m and with current valid rating certificate. Classic yachts and traditional boats are eligible to enter the event's first race.
